I still can't get photos to show up here, but I was able to upload a few to my goodreads profile page. If you want to see my cats, I have Clara (deformed foot) & Sarah posted. I also posted a photo of the flooding in my area. The stop sign is almost completely submerged. That's how bad it was!Pammy Jo
*click on "more photos" under my profile picture if you are interested in seeing them.π±
I added another flood photo and also some photos of the black bear that was in my town a couple of weeks ago. The photos were all taken by residents in town who spotted him on their property. I especially enjoy the one of the bear in a swimming pool here in town. Imagine going for a swim with him!π»ππ»Pammy Jo
Aww your cats are so cute, Pamela! That was a lot of flooding!Meg would probably love to go for a swim with a bear. πππ»π
Thank you, Emma! Both cats were rescues from the SPCA. The flooding was scary and we're expecting more rain and storms every day this week! It seems that Meg does like bears. I, for one, would rather swim with a bear than a shark!π¬Pammy Jo

Yes, I guess a bear would be better than a shark... π€£

When she walks, she has to throw that leg out to the side, but it doesn't slow her down at all. She's even able to run and jump! Nobody else wanted her and they were ready to put her down when I took her!

Emma, as for swimming with a bear, I've heard that they smell pretty bad so I'm not sure if want to. π

FYI...I just got home and watched the weather forecast. They said from tonight through Tuesday night we are going to have the most active meteor showers of the whole year. The best time for viewing will be around 11:00 to 11:30 p.m. It will be viewable throughout North America. Tuesday is supposed to be the peak viewing time. Looks like I'd better nap sometime today!πβπ

I believe I've posted pictures of our cats here before, but I'll post them here again for Pammy Jo to see! These are our 2 Bengal mixes, Nastya and Olga. They are sisters. 
Nastya...
Olga...

Between 11:00 pm and midnight there should be 75+ per hour!

They are beautiful, Meg! I love all pets, but cats are my favorite! Thanks for showing me the photos!
Pammy Jo
I guess I could just stay up tonight to see it.
All right! My sisters and I are staying up tonight to see the meteor shower! Who's joining me?? ππ
The Farmer's Almanac says the best show for the meteors is Aug. 11-13 before midnight. I just looked it up. I'm thinking tonight won't be the peak, then. That's the latest info. Pammy Jo

Well, bummer! Tonight's the best night for me to see it. π
Never mind, I guess we're going to drive 6 hours on Tuesday, go to Mckay's, then stay up till midnight to see it! ππ
You can find information about the meteor shower on:www.earthsky.org
When you get onto the website, scroll down to Astro Essentials and click on Top Tips for watching the Perseids in 2020. Lots of information about viewing the shower! ππ

Well, just to give you a heads-up, I'm leaving Emma in charge of keeping this group interesting. I will be away with my father to Pennsylvania for a couple of days, starting tomorrow. Emma, keep 'em in line, and don't let them forget the rules of grammar and punctuation. (Try to remember them yourself!)

You and your father have a safe trip
and a great time.

Clara is sweet. I must say, she is very attentive, where as Sarah is more laid
back. You're dear lovely cats, now your
profile has names.ππππ
Emma wrote: "You're leaving?!? How sad! π’"Somehow, I sense sarcasm here!
Well, I'm off to bed to hopefully get a few hours' sleep. See you all in a few days!

No, I was not being sarcastic!
I was just out with the dogs and saw 3 meteors! I just missed the first one but it must have been really something...I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye and when I looked up there was a long streak of bluish light lingering in the sky, just east of the Milky Way. It was visible for at least 5 minutes!!!

They say the meteor shower will peak on Tuesday night around 11:00 p.m.

Sarah looks like the more laid back cat, but she's super sensitive. She's the one who had a nervous breakdown when my dad died (officially diagnosed by our vet) and she's also the one who woke me when my blood sugar dropped so low. Clara is actually the more laid back cat. You are right, though. To look at them, you would think it's the opposite. Clara is more fearful of storms and fireworks, though.

I usually like to be in bed by then as I get up early, but I'd really like to see it!

How are you today?
Oh, I thought Clara woke you.
Poor Sarah! I had no idea that cats had
breakdowns. I'm so used to seeing indifferent
or Luciferin cats (a la Cinderella), the types
that are around us. Fireworks are frightening,
each holiday the animals in our neighborhood
are still and silent.
βGood Morning Everyone!βI won't bother, we scarcely see anything down here.
